How Does Adaptive Optics Work?

Adaptive optics systems typically consist of three main components: a wavefront sensor, a control system, and a wavefront corrector. The wavefront sensor measures distortions in the light wavefront as it passes through a medium. The control system processes these measurements and calculates the necessary adjustments. The wavefront corrector, often a deformable mirror, makes real-time adjustments to correct the distortions, resulting in a clearer image.
